Operation 4530 Series RF Power Meter
Main Menu > Calibratr > [ Int Signal, Ext Signal ]
Control the on/off state of the selected calibrator, and modulation source for the External Calibrator.
Off Disable the selected calibrator’s RF output. (Power-on default)
On CW Enable selected calibrator’s RF output. Output signal will be unmodulated (CW).
Int/Pulse Enable external calibrator’s RF output, modulated by its internal pulse generator.
Ext/Pulse Enable external calibrator’s RF output, modulated by its “ext pulse” input.
Remote Commands: OUTPut:{INTernal | EXTernal}:SIGNAL <ON, OFF>
OUTPut:EXTernal:MODulation <CW, PULSE>
(controls modulation)
OUTPut:EXTernal:PULSe:SOURce <INT, EXT> (modulation source)
Main Menu > Calibratr > [ Int Level, Ext Level ]
Set the output level of the selected calibrator in 0.1dB steps.
Range: -60.0 to +20.0 dBm
Default: 0.0 dBm
Remote Command: OUTPut:{INTernal | EXTernal}:LEVEL <n>
Main Menu > Calibratr > PlsPeriod
Select the pulse period for the internal pulse modulator of the external calibrator.
Range: 10, 1.0 or 0.1 millisecond (100 Hz, 1kHz or 10kHz)
Default: 10 ms
Remote Command: OUTPut:EXTernal:PULSe:PERiod <10, 1, 0.1>
Main Menu > Calibratr > DutyCycle
Select the duty cycle for the internal pulse modulator of the external calibrator.
Range: 10% to 90% in 10% steps
Default: 10%
Remote Command: OUTPut:EXTernal:PULse:DCYC <10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90)
Main Menu > Calibratr > [ IntStatus, ExtStatus ]
Display a status screen for the selected calibrator. For the internal calibrator, this monitors the oscillator drive
level to verify proper operation. For the external calibrator the software version, serial number, calibration
date, internal temperature and calibration factor are shown.
Remote Command: None.
Main Menu > Calibratr > [ SelectInt, SelectExt ]
Selects the active calibrator. Only the menu item for the currently inactive calibrator is displayed. Note that
attempting to select the external calibrator will generate an error if it is not connected or turned on.
Remote Command: No explicit command. INT or EXT is embedded in any command that requires a
calibrator to be specified.
